When he came out, Jiang Changning told him about the Xie family and explained: "I got along well with her when we were in the boudoir, so I met her this time."

From what she said, King Jin knew that Jiang Changning was worried that the person Xie Baoyin was going to marry was Qin Zhaoxi.

Qin Zhaoxi was the nephew of the Queen Mother and a natural royalist.

"It doesn't matter, you can interact with her if you want." King Jin said with a smile.

Jiang Changning smiled, but had already made up his mind that he would not interact too closely with Xie Baoyin and would pay more attention when getting along.

The next day, Xie Baoyin came as promised and was led into Zhengzeyuan by Xiulan.

Seeing Jiang Changning, Xie Baoyin smiled and said, "Happy New Year, Princess."

"Sister Yin, happy New Year, sit down and talk." Jiang Changning said with a smile.

The maid brought tea in and then left.

"When did Sister Yin come to Beijing? How was your trip?" Jiang Changning asked with a smile.

"I arrived in Beijing on the 20th of the twelfth lunar month. Otherwise, my arrival was fine. It was just too cold. It was unbearable on the road, and my grandmother also fell ill." Xie Baoyin explained why she didn't visit her before the year before.

"It's really hard to travel on the road in winter." Jiang Changning also experienced this hardship when he went north.

After Xie Baoyin echoed a few words, she said: "Sister Ning, I won't beat around the bush with you. I came here today to ask Sister Ning to give me some advice."

"What do you mean by saying something or not? If you don't understand something, just ask. If I know something, I'll tell you." Jiang Changning said with a smile.

"My father is just a small military attache. The various offices in the capital are so intertwined that I'm afraid I might offend someone accidentally."

Jiang Changning smiled. Xie Baoyin's words were too modest. Xie Jiancheng was transferred to the capital and was promoted. Now he is the commander of the second-grade left wing battalion.

In this capital, he is considered to be the number one person.

"Although there are many palaces in Beijing, there are only a few that you should pay attention to. Among the palaces, Prince Qing's Palace is now the most valued by the emperor."

"Princess Qing is old and has nothing to do. The person in charge now is the Crown Princess, who is the niece of Mrs. Longxi."

"The eldest lady in the mansion, Mrs. Xu, is the eldest daughter of the prince of Wei Guogong. When you first meet her, you will think that she is quite kind, but when you get along with her, she knows people and faces, but you don't know her heart. You should pay more attention when dealing with her in the future.

That’s it.”

It is impossible for Jiang Changning and Mrs. Xu to get along well, and he would speak ill of her outright.

Xie Baoyin was greatly moved and felt that Jiang Changning treated her sincerely, "Sister Xie Ning reminds me."

Jiang Changning smiled and continued: "When I got married, the eldest princess of Jiashan was the bride of the family. When I went out, Duke Xinjian and the eldest princess of Jiashan agreed to be my parents. Our two houses have a close relationship."

This is all obvious. Even if she didn't say it, Xie Baoyin could find out from elsewhere. Besides, it's nothing impossible to say.

"Ms. Xingzhou County Duke is the sister of the Queen Mother. I met her twice at banquets and had no chance to talk. She seems quite amiable."

"On the day of the New Year, the Duke's wife sent people to bring gifts." Xie Baoyin said.

Jiang Changning sincerely blessed: "It seems that the Qin family is quite satisfied with this marriage. Congratulations to Sister Yin."

Xie Baoyin pursed her lips and smiled. She was full of expectations for this marriage.

"The second grandma of Baling Palace, Mrs. Jiang, likes to take her sisters from her mother's family to various banquets. She tries her best to send her sisters to various mansions to be concubines for the men in each mansion."

"This Jiang family is too self-satisfied," Xie Baoyin said with a frown.

"When you see her in the future, don't be too polite. If you are polite, you will be stuck in the dog-skin plaster. If you don't accept a Jiang girl, you won't be able to escape."

"This is really a huge world, full of wonders."

"The Princess of Yu is Zhao Xifang, and the King of Ningxia is Song Yirou. You have met them in the palace and know what kind of people they are, so I won't say more."

"I don't have much contact with officials' wives. I have met the wife of Mrs. Chen's aunt in our mansion several times. She is quite powerful and has great means."

After chatting about the situation in each government, we talked about the gossip in Beijing in recent days.

"Auntie is really willing to let Miss Zhuang Wu become the concubine of the prince-in-law?"

"If you can climb up to the princess's mansion, what wouldn't you want to do?"

Xie Baoyin bit the corner of her lower lip and lowered her voice: "Aren't you afraid that Princess Yiruo will leave her mother and leave her son?"

Jiang Changning took a sip of tea and said, "There is no need for Princess Yirao to do this."

Even if Zhuang Qingyan successfully gave birth to a son, the eldest son of a concubine could not shake the status of Princess Yirao.

Jiang Changning stayed with Xie Baoyin to have lunch at his residence, and then prepared gifts for her to take back.

Not long after Xie Baoyin left, Shu Fei came in and reported: "Princess, people from Baling Palace are here to report the funeral."

"Did Princess Baling pass away?" Jiang Changning guessed.

Jiang Changning did not want to discuss condolences with Mr. Qiao, so he went to Liuxuan Courtyard.

At the gate of the courtyard, I met Ms. Qiao who was rushing over.

Jiang Changning smiled and nodded, "Sister-in-law."

Mrs. Qiao snorted coldly and rushed into the yard first.

Princess Jin was not surprised when she heard the bad news. "She has been ill for so long. It is not easy to survive this year. She is getting older, just like the fallen leaves in autumn, she is returning to her roots."

Mrs. Qiao rushed to say: "My mother-in-law is in good health and will live a long life."

The concubine glanced at her and said, "You should prepare the silk and gold first. There is no need to rush to express condolences. We will wait until the prince comes back."

"Concubine, how much is this silk and gold seal suitable for?" Mrs. Qiao asked.

"You don't have to ask me about this. Just seal it as much as the old rule is." The concubine said displeasedly.

Mrs. Qiao hurriedly went to seal the silk and gold in the accounting room. Jiang Changning explained to her: "There are many things during the New Year. My sister-in-law is busy in and out. She is so busy that she loses her head and loses her way in doing things."

The concubine curled her lips and said, "I know how to be busy all day long."

"Kangren is growing up, and my sister-in-law is also very motherly and wants Kangren to have a good reputation as a talented girl."

"Does the princess of Prince Jin's palace need to use this method to gain fame? She is just stupid." The concubine became even more angry after being persuaded by Jiang Changning.

"What the mother-in-law said is right, so I said that if the mother-in-law was not in charge, I don't know what kind of chaos would happen." Jiang Changning complimented.

The concubine smiled, stretched out her finger and tapped her twice, "You have a sweet mouth."

Half an hour later, King Jin came back and said, "Tomorrow I will take the princess to the Baling Palace to express condolences."

Mrs. Qiao was anxious, "Don't I have to go?"

"Sister-in-law, isn't it enough to have Prince Jin and Princess Jin to express condolences? A county princess died of illness, and even though she was an elder, the whole family did not go there." Jiang Changning's eyes flickered, "Concubine, what do you think?"

"Brother Yu's daughter-in-law is right." The concubine glared at Mrs. Qiao, "You, just take a good rest at home, so as not to get too busy and do stupid things."
